About the Journal

The Juniata Journal of Ecology (formerly Journal of Ecology from 1998 - 2024) launched in 1998 as a lab component of Dr. Glazier’s General Ecology course to expose Juniata students to the publication process and to archive past research projects. In 2025, we modernized its internet presence for free open-access and expanded the content beyond the General Ecology course to include any ecological research from Juniata undergraduate and graduate students and alumni. The journal focuses on research from the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions, but also includes research from outside our region. The open-access policy makes the journal free for both authors and readers and increases accessibility. Journal operations are managed by a team of students with faculty mentors overseeing the project at Juniata College.
